The English Guitar Duo is a new collaboration between the two experienced guitarists Raymond Burley and Arne Brattland.

They have previously worked together in various ensemble projects such as the London Guitar Orchestra, Omega Players, Lyric Guitar Trio and the Rodrigo Guitar Trio (formerly the New Pro Arte Guitar Trio), some of them resulting in acclaimed CD recordings.




The English Guitar Duo is exploring a wide range of repertory, including their own arrangements of music by Albeniz, Granados and Grieg. As a duo they have so far given concerts around the UK, including guest recitals at several guitar events. They are featured in the memorial DVD to composer John Duarte and are currently preparing a new CD recording.
